He also says a lot of healthy food is sh!t because it doesn’t fit in with the programs he is selling with the online persona he has created in order to sell those programs. This is how it works, there is countless ‘influencers’ in all different areas of business and lifestyle doing the same thing. You can literally buy courses to learn how to get the most exposure from your online persona in order to sell courses. It’s all marketing.
Not what I have seen. But I’m sure you know best

He basically just says everything is sh!t apart from meat and eggs. Then proceeds to make the most hideous looking looking slop going or eats 30 hard boiled eggs for breakfast.
remember this man was a professional bodybuilder so will have spent a large amount of his life juiced up to the eyeballs on steroids.

Weird guy but exploiting the instagram/tiktok algorithm very well to sell his various fitness and fat loss courses. This is how social media and influencers work, ALL trying to sell you something.
I’m sure he has his own egg unit and so is pushing eggs for that very reason 😂

Give is an example then. If there's loads it should be easy
He did a post say recently saying bread, pasta, fruit, rice was all just full of sugar and that sugar was the enemy. He promotes and sells extreme diets. He is right on a lot of things but has an agenda and is on the extreme end of the scale.
I hope you are tucking into a nice meal of 12 boiled eggs and 5 tins of sardines tonight!

Ffs you can find a negative in someone who is actually standing up for producers rather than corporate gloop

He is good, he is making the masses aware of how bad for you eating lots of processed food can be
Yeh he does.
But then follows it up by saying your Sunday roast is sh!t. Then proceeds to encourage you to go on a 3 day fast which you will then break with a mashed up mixture of lamb chops, boiled eggs, sardines and feta cheese.

Bread and pasta equals carbs equals sugar to the body,, any diabetic should know to cut down on carbs..
bread and especially modern bread ain’t no health food that’s for sure.

But yes, he is extreme, it’s almost certainly a tactic that gains him likes and views and followers, so whilst I think there’s a lot of good in what he says, a lot of modern ultra processed food really is crap, I certainly wouldn’t want to live on his diet.
But I think people really do need to wake up about the crap that is going into modern food.
Speaking as a dairy farmer, I’d like to think I’m producing a healthy nutritious product……… I probably shouldn’t be saying the next bit but at Christmas our milk buyer gave us a nice Christmas hamper containing mainly products they produce. Quite a bit of desert type stuff which as a diabetic I take an interest in reading the labels of and quite honestly it was mainly sugary crap being made with milk as one of the ingredients, the butter was almost certainly the most healthy product in that hamper. Whilst on the subject of butter, it’s something I’ve gone back to in recent years, I’m sure I feel better for it over what have been promoted as the healthier option spreads.

Anything that makes people think about what they eat has got to be a good thing and I’m absolutely convinced that natural foods are more healthy than ultra processed foods which have only come about in relatively recent times but we also need to be aware that all these social media influencers have something to gain from more likes , hits and shares so most will be producing material to grab attention or provoke a reaction, they all need taking with a pinch of salt.

Agree, that was my point. It’s a bit like the non farmers no food thing, ulterior motives everywhere.
